Week 1
Traditional Foods: What makes food traditional to a country?
In week 1, students will explore the traditional foods of yours and your partner school’s country
Brainstorm the traditional foods of your country. Make a long list. What do we mean by traditional? What makes a particular food ‘traditional’.
Create a list of criteria. Here are some ideas to get you started:
The ingredients available in the area The ways in which the food is cooked The lifestyle of the country (this includes customs and traditions)
The significance around the particular food - Is it used in a particular ritual?
Homework task
Consider your favourite traditional food and find a recipe.
They will need to write a brief explanation as to why the recipe is their favourite traditional food (e.g. a special recipe passed down from grandmother).
Ask your students to post the recipe and their brief explanation on the shared Wikispace.
Week 2
Recipe Book
In week 2, students will focus on collating the recipes they have collected during last week’s activity and for homework Sharing the recipes
Once your have decided on the traditional food and have a recipe for it, you will share this with the class.
You may find some interesting and entertaining discussion will emerge as the stories around the food emerge.
These stories should accompany the recipes in the collated hard copy or digital recipe book.
Allocating roles within student groups.
Who will be the BRIDGE Project coordinators? Who will ensure that activities are completed? Who will report back to you and the class?
Tell them what is required in this (or other) collaboration activities and ask them how they would like to lead the activities.
Write their own recipes with a brief explanation as to why they chose it as their favourite food
Collate all the class recipes into a recipe book (online, electronically or in hard copy)
Send these or post them onto the Wikispace so the recipe books can be shared with your partner school
What’s next?
In a couple of weeks, students from your class and your partner class will be performing their own ‘Cooking Shows’ using the recipes collated in these recipe books. The recipes may need to be translated.
Week
In week 3, students will aim to identify features, language and film techniques that are used in the ‘Cooking Shows’ in each partner school’s country
Features to look for include:
Camera shots Inclusion of music What is shown and What they think might be cut out
The language that is used by the presenter How the explanations are given
Use of humour
What do your students do next?
As they are watching the sample shows, students need to begin thinking how they would like to portray their own show.
They will also need to work together to decide how they will present the show.
Will it be Videotaped? Photographed? Written as a storyboard if they don’t have access to technology?
Week 4 Students need to have some idea of what they would like to do and how they would like to present it.
A cooking show needs to be taped from the TV to show the students.
Australian Cooking shows you might look at are: 1. Huey’s cooking adventures 2. The Cook and the Chef
Indonesian Cooking Shows you might look at are: ␣Khasanah Kulinar␣Momosak Gersama␣Selera Nusantaza
Cooking Shows Planning
In week 4, your students will form groups to develop their cooking show
Groups choose their recipe
Each student group needs to choose which recipe from the Recipe Book they would like to cook. They can even choose a recipe from their partner school.
Drawing on from last week’s activity, students need to plan how they will film or record their cooking show. How long?
The Cooking Show is a short one and shouldn’t go for more than 3 minutes! Begin the script
Every good show needs a plan.
You will need to work together to plan the show, to allocate tasks.
Decide upon who will be: ␣the director ␣camera person␣actor(s) ␣script writer(s) etc
The next important step is writing the script: take time to start this and report back on the progress at the end of the class.
Cooking Shows Planning
In week 5, students will have time for further planning and may also begin filming
If some groups are ready to film, then they should use this time to do so. Allowing appropriate space for filming
You might like to do an ‘outside’ or on- location shoot.
You will need to consider:
Camera shots Sound Lighting
ICT Options: ␣Digital camera ␣Video camera
If you are planning to film a different location – other than your classroom – ensure you have the necessary permissions.
Week 6
Cooking Shows Filming
In week 6, students will begin filming or taking photos for their cooking shows
Week 6
Cooking Shows Editing
In week 7, your students will work together in their groups to refine and edit their show
They need to be working together to create the final product.
ICT Options: ␣Computers may be
required ␣Software such as
Movie Maker or Photo Story
The amount of time needed for editing and refinement is dependent on the amount of detail you might want to inject into their show.
Week 7
Sharing Cooking Shows
In week 8, students will If possible, peer-assess the shows from the opposite country.
This will involve placing the Cooking Shows on the shared Wikispace
Reflection
Spend some time reflecting on what you have learned about traditional foods and how they differ in each country.
You may be spurred on to try new foods you didn’t even know existed before!
